No point in investing if you don't have any hobbies or passions to pursue once you've hit your goal (or along the way). Gotta enjoy the pursuit while making your way towards the goal.
I go frugal in the areas that don't interest me as much (cars), so that I enjoy the pursuit by spending on stuff that keeps me happy (travel and homebrewing stuff, mostly). I try never to cross an ocean in coach. Probably spend more time churning credit cards for bonuses than I should (and issuers like Chase have certainly made the game harder the past few years), but that seat better go horizontal and be paired with a decent wine list if I'm spending 12-15 hours in a metal/carbon-fiber tube.
